Planning the day
What to tell us, and what to expect
A few details change the plan more than anything else. Put them on the quote form and we do the rest.
- Wait for the match, or drop and return?Tell us whether the coach stays at the venue or leaves and comes back for you. It changes the price, so we ask up front.
- Kit and equipmentSay how many kit bags, balls, nets or bikes are coming. Space differs by vehicle, so we check it fits before we confirm.
- Early starts and late returnsGive us kick-off, finish and when you want to be home. The driver’s legal breaks are built into the plan.
- Pick-up pointsThe club house, a car park or two or three stops along the way. Tell us where the vehicle can stop and how you want to be dropped back.
- A name and number for the dayYour driver’s name and mobile number reach you the day before, so the manager has someone to call.
- A list of fixturesSend the dates you have and we will quote them. Each trip is priced as a fixed quote.

Questions
Before you book for your club
How many seats does a squad need?
Count everyone who is travelling, including coaches, managers and supporters. Each vehicle carries as many people as it has seats: 8, 16, 22, 34, 49 or 55. If you are between sizes, tell us the numbers and we will suggest the smallest vehicle that is comfortable.
Can the coach wait during the match and bring us home?
Yes. Tell us when you request the quote whether the coach should wait or drop and return, because it changes the price. If it waits, the driver’s breaks are planned around your timings.
Is there room for kit bags and equipment?
Usually, but space differs by vehicle and by how much you are carrying. Tell us the number of kit bags and any larger items when you ask for the quote, and we will confirm the right size.
Can you cover early kick-offs and late returns?
Yes. Give us the kick-off, the finish and the time you want to be home, and we plan the journey around the driver’s legal hours.
How much does it cost for a club?
The price depends on the route, date, hours and number of passengers, so we quote each trip rather than list rates. Put your journey on the quote form and we reply with a fixed price, driver included. Once we have quoted, that quote is your fixed price.
Do you carry junior teams?
Yes. DBS-checked drivers are available on request, so tell us when you ask for the quote and we will arrange it. Every booking includes a professional driver.
